I'd rather not have gunpowder, thnough I'd still buy the game is it was Napoleonic, and I'd bet the only reason M2TW is the next game and not Napoleonic is they wanted a new engine for Nap. for stuff like navies which where very important etc.
Didn't play Shogun 1 but the era doesn't interest me, plus two sequels in a row would be pretty pathetic from CA, I'd rather see new ideas.
Three Kingdoms China I believe was quite popular when we where speculating what would come out next prior to M2TW release. (not read the whole thread here, probably been discussed here as well) but that seemed quite interesting.
